to install everything takes "a lot of" time.
Specially the postinstall steps of all the  texlive packages
is time hungry.

similar story not so time ago:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-02/msg00052.html

A better solution, IMHO, was to install only base as first step,
and add whatever argument you could need for your teaching as
second step.

We know about the >100% glitch in setup and if I am not wrong
has been solved for the next release that will be deployed.
Sometime ago the full cygwin size overcome a 32bit size counter.

Marco
